Abschied

Der Frühling kommt den Andern,
  Mir aber zieht er fort:
Du rüstest dich zum Wandern
  Und sprichst das Abschiedswort.

Magst Du denn wandern alleine
 Am heitern Frühlingstag,
Wenn ich da drinnen weine
 Und schau Dir traurig nach? --

"Und zieh' ich in die weite Fern',
  In die fremde Fern' hinaus:
Dein Lieb' ist mein Dreikönigsstern,
  Deine Lieb', die ist mein Haus."
